Unable to keep Dashboard on full screen mode

[HP_G]

Hi there, I have recently started using Sharptools for my Hubitat dashboards and I am having trouble with the full screen mode. I have it on a Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet running on Google Chrome so when the Screen Saver kicks in and I double tap on the screen to be able to see the Dashboard then it defaults back to the normal view rather than staying on full screen mode which was the state I left it in before. I have had a look at the google Chrome settings but I couldn’t find anything relevant.

Please can you assist? I need to be able to have the dashboard stay permanently on full screen mode.

As well, is there a way of activating/deactivating the screen using the tablet’s camera as a motion sensor? I heard that other platforms offer this feature.

I also have a Ring doorbell, can this be integrated into the dashboard?

Welcome to the community and thanks for posting. It looks like this may be related to the ticket we received where it seems like our replies weren’t getting delivered to you. As such, I’m including the original reply to that ticket:

Thank you for contacting support. Most of our users use Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboards. It would allow you to keep the tablet running dashboards in full screen mode, and automatically turn the screen on when motion is detected through the tablet’s camera. Here is a summary of common Fully Kiosk settings for hosting dashboards on a tablet.

You can also add ?kiosk=true to the end of the dashboard url and it will hide the top nav bar and the edit button to allow a further “full screen” experience.

Since SharpTools.io is built with progressive web app technologies, an alternative approach would be to add the dashboard page to your Android/iOS homescreen and it will be opened like an native app when tapped (how to).

There’s not a direct way to stream Ring video to a dashboard, but you can create a Hyperlink tile to open the Ring app when tapped, or create a rule to open the Ring app automatically when someone presses the Ring button. (The latter requires Fully Kiosk Browser and the community developed device handler.)
